Learn how to fundraise, build, and advocate for great places to play in your community! Led by KaBOOM! presenters, KaBOOM! Workshops entirely on Play are one-day, FREE regional trainings packed with interactive sessions, networking opportunities and first-hand success stories. From planning a playground project to involving your local government in the cause of play, WE Play! sessions give all participants the tools to take action.

There are two workshop tracks available:
* Playground Builders. These sessions focus on the nuts and bolts of the community-build process, from volunteer recruitment to fundraising.
* Play Advocacy. These sessions focus on specific ways you can advocate for play in your community, from auditing the safety and maintenance of playspaces in your area to making your city a Playful City USA.Who attends WE Play!
